Reel Rush

When designing a fruit-themed game, you have two options: create a brand new appearance for the fruit symbols or add a fresh take on game mechanics (or both!). NetEnt, the creators of Reel Rush, said from the outset that they wanted to add the feel of an old-school video game like Super Mario and they’ve managed to do that, as well as creating an exciting take on gameplay that has proven popular over the years. Since 2013, players have been enjoying the chance to activate the respins feature that takes the action to a whole new level, since each respin unlocks more combination potential as the grid increases in size. With 1875 ways to win and 3125 possible winning combinations in Free Spins Reel Rush has become a fresh take on fruit-themed games. Why not have a go at Wildz Casino New Zealand?

Design

The enigmatic cross-shaped grid stands out immediately, placed across a classic video game background. The outer sides of the grid are locked with more space opening up with each combination that results from a spin. Players may secure wins when symbols are landed in combinations of three anywhere on the grid as long as the combinations are on adjacent reels from left to right: The lower paying coloured disc symbols (red, orange, yellow, green and purple) are joined by the oblong-shaped fruit symbols: pineapples, lemons, grapes, watermelons and blueberries, as well as strawberries, with the latter being the jackpot symbol.

Gameplay

This is a 5-reel, 5-row grid on which the active play area takes the form of a cross. On the first and fifth reel, four of the five blocks are locked, leaving one open. On reels two and four, two of the five blocks are locked. The game gains momentum when respins and Free Spins are triggered and the locked blocks are opened up to increase the size of the play area, if you’re lucky. Any winning combination triggers a respin while also unlocking more space on the reels. The more space that’s available the more opportunities there are to secure combination wins on subsequent spins if you’re enjoying a bit of good fortune while you play.

Bonuses and features

The importance of landing combinations and triggering subsequent respins becomes apparent quite quickly; this increases the number of paylines in view and the chances of hitting a winning combination. This may also trigger the Reel Rush Free Spins bonus round. In the Free Spins round, the playing area opens up even more allowing for 3125 winning combination possibilities. The key to this game is hitting winning combinations one after the other, according to the slot’s random selection. It doesn’t offer a huge jackpot opportunity, but the game can produce enough wins to make it worthwhile, if you’re lucky.
